Like A Cannonball

Oh happy Saturday!! Another morning where I really didn't want to get out of bed and do anything. I need to figure out a situation with this because I planned for 7 miles and I only got in 3 because I overslept. Or maybe it is my bodies way of saying it really needs and wants the rest, so I guess I will give it.

I got up an ran 3 miles. I am trying to do run 10:30 and walk 1:00. My body is trained that way and recovers that way. There is nothing wrong or makes me less of a runner, in some ways it makes me a better one, a stronger one. But I am having a hard time with the 10:30, I am getting tired. Tomorrow I am going to try 9:00 and walk a 1:00 and see if that helps out more. After my run, I had to get ready for work and head out the door. I used left over Quiona for my lunch and mixed in black beans, chick peas, diced tomatoes, grilled chicken pieces and some fat free Italian dressing. It was amazing!!!! So yummy and delicious. I am so glad I brought that for lunch, we were busy at work and this kept me full the whole time.

So when I got home from work all I had was some shredded wheat and fruit and a Cookie Dough QuestBar for dessert. I am loving this Simple Start. I really hope and cant wait to see what the scale says.

Tomorrow is a long run day and then an afternoon out with James to watch some playoff football.

Here is a song I am LOVING right now....

It's my girl from Glee and her new CD will be awesome. I put this on my running playlist and I love it. Its powerful, inspirational and yet emotional.

Enjoy!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I ...

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
